Harry Potter - September

-
November, 2015
Fandom: Harry Potter
Song: September by Daughtry

Description:
September could mean a lot of things. Obviously it's the month where everything begins and life completely changes for Harry. It's when Hogwarts starts, so it might have been his favorite month. That's because Harry despised summer. Metaphorically though, September means turning away from the good times. Summer is like childhood. September could mean growing up. It could mean running away. It could mean the war. For Harry's life though, it sure doesn't mean the month.

I really tried to up my technical and coloring skills while making this. I absolutely LOVE the coloring - the black/white tones are beautiful. The colored section in the middle also stands out. I didn't mess with timing at all still, which was a limitation. By that I mean nothing is in slow/fast motion, it's all in real-time (because changing that is a REAL PAIN in PowerDirector). Editing-wise, I think this is quite advanced and masterful and a real step up from past Harry Potter videos!

What's unique is that in hindsight I dislike the content. Usually on my own videos, I feel the opposite and love the content, dislike the technicalities. This is on my list of videos to redo (hopefully with the same coloring aesthetic) but with more well-rounded content that doesn't stick so severely to Deathly Hallows Part 1 and try to tell too much "story" in chronological order in a way that doesn't make sense. I'd want a more generalized Harry Potter video.

Evanna & Keo - DWTS Tribute - I Wanna Dance With Somebody

November, 2018 Fandom: Dancing With the Stars s27 Pairing: Evanna Lynch and Keo Motsepe Song: I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston Description: Team Kevanna!!! So happy they made it to the finals! They may have gotten third place, but their are the winners in my heart. They got to dance every single dance and for that I am so grateful. I've never seen this show before. I watched for Evanna and thought I would stop once she got eliminated (which never happened!) Evanna Lynch has made me want to dance again. I literally have these dances memorized by now. I've seen them so many times. I included clips from all of their scored dances, as well as their behind-the-scenes introduction video, and their intro on opening night. This video is an oddball because it's a very, very specific fandom... I wouldn't even call it a fandom, I'm just a fan all here by myself. Vidding reality TV is probably not even a thing. But I was SOO obsessed with Evanna Lynch

Remus Lupin - The Wolves

July, 2014 Fandom: Harry Potter Character: Remus Lupin Song: The Wolves (Act I and II) by Bon Iver Description: "With the wild wolves around you/In the morning I'll call you/Send it farther on." Dedicated to Remus Lupin. Also shows his relationships with Harry Potter and Nymphadora Tonks. I wish he had more screen time. I would've done this video much differently if the baby storyline was actually left in. But this is the best I could do! Remus Lupin is definitely one of the most fantastic Harry Potter characters of all time - one that evokes a mixture of reverence and admiration, yet also extreme pity. I have to give a shoutout not only to David Thewlis's performance, but Broad Strokes' Productions INCREDIBLE "Great Wizarding War" audio series, in which Remus Lupin is voiced by Paul Stanko. I had a separate video idea in my head for how I would have made this video if the books were filmed in their entirety, but alas, this is the adapted ver

December, 2015 Fandom: Skins Characters: Freddie McClair and Effy Stonem Compilation of Kissing Scenes Description Skins is a UK TV show. Basically a compilation of every kissing scene of theirs that I knew. If I forgot one someone let me know and I'll fix it. What... what kind of mood was I in this December?? I posted like three compilation videos in a row... was I just so burnt out that I didn't want to make any actual videos?? This took no effort. People love it though, because they love Freffy. I get it, I do too. These are like basic fan service.
